OKLAHOMA was carved out of the fodian territory, given over to wander tog tribes of Indiana and white advent­ urers who produced nothing. On the contrary the inhabitants were sponges, k lira wing certain stipends from the gov- j»nd giving nothing in return. Oklahoma now has a population of over 800,000 white inhabitants and the terri­ tory yields yearly agricultural product* Worth $100,000,000. Oklahoma has not ffcen Settled and civilized at the expense of other sections. The settlers were irfmply the overflow of the congested parts of onr country--mostly the east­ ern stateB. Yankee enterprise and push have given to the territory which seven years ago was a farmless waste, factor­ ies, farms, schools, churches, railroads, electric facilities of all kinds, and all the accessories of civil life and progress. It was a spot left for the country to ex­ pand into ,-for crowding thousands left Uithont a place in the hustling ranks Of competition to secure a foothold and ft home. It is an illustration of the Policy of expansion. The territory now galled Oklahoma was needed to meet Hie requirements of an overflowing pop Wftatitm, made so by natural increase ®®d immigration from foreign countries. Who shall say that as long as there U a legitimate chance to "expand" this <*>untry shall not take that chance?
